14 Outcome 4.1 Initial diagnosis

-
Range: identification of needs may include but is not limited to references to the Learning Progressions for Adult Literacy and Numeracy.

 Evidence requirements: identification includes finding, contextualizing, and using initial or diagnostic assessment tasks.

 [The degree to which I go along or don't go along with testing]. Even if we find some areas of weakness, what about natural order hypothesis? and the falability of skills worked on in isolation.? Johnny can do fractions, but he can't do decimals and is only middling in percentage? This does not fit in with Maori approach] This is driven and imposed by administration, Placement test. How I get an idea of various students through observation of activity engagement

Although I am one with the principle that every teacher should be required to embed literacy and numeracy in his or her teaching, I have two main objections as regards being obliged to complete:  Unit standard (21204 version 5)   Develop adult learners' literacy and numeracy skills within a workplace training or education programme . 1. Unit standard (21204 version 5)  specifies, in the  explanatory notes, point 9, that:  "a workplace training or education programme  . . . excludes a specialist literacy and/or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programme" and that: "Embed literacy and numeracy skills development  refers to teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy within the context and tasks of another subject or skill, e.g. panel-beating"   Clearly, since I teach ESOL, it is wrong that I should be required to complete this unit standard, indeed I  may not . ESOL teachers are specifically excluded from completing this unit standa

Description includes a comparison of four adult literacy and numeracy definitions currently used in Aotearoa New Zealand. Range: definitions include one for Maori (from either Te Kawai Ora or Professor Mason Durie's speech 2001 to the Hui Taumata Matauranga Maori), one for embedded literacy, one for numeracy, one other adult literacy definition, which may include but is not limited to Whakatipuranga Arapiki Ako report. I work in the  English Language Centre (ELC).  The programme we  teach is the New Zealand Certificates in English Language (NZCEL).

On the 3rd o

8 Outcome 2.1 Maori concepts

-
Description uses Maori concepts to create a framework for adult literacy and numeracy in relation to an education or training programme. I interpret the above as an invitation to create a framework - one that addresses adult literacy and numeracy and that suggests how that might be houses within and education programme. We are presented, in the unit standard with a number of Maori words pertaining to traditional Maori educational instruction. here's an invitation to use Maori  concepts   to improve our literacy and numeracy. That is, don't get lost in the jargon. This is a much deeper issue. Include  link to youtube ] Kevin Matherest: You are letting yourself be brainwashed and indoctrinated! Just say NO to learning TeReo. Wake up the language is being used to force tribal separatism in NZ .You are not Maori bro most of your genetics is European do not let yourself be indoctrinated in putting Maori culture on a pedestal.There was no such thing as a noble warrior
